| Wow. Didn't see this one coming. Millionaire Republican fashion magnate Andrew Saul, who was widely expected to essentially self finance his challenge to freshman Rep. John Hall, is dropping out.
NY-19: Andrew Saul dropping out
In a stunning development, wealthy businessman Andrew Saul (R) is making calls to inform supporters and GOP insiders that he is dropping his candidacy in New York's 19th District. Saul was widely regarded as a strong Republican recruit to take on freshman Democratic Cong. John Hall (D). Saul's ability to self-finance and the Republican-tilt of the district made it a top GOP target. But now, his exit from the race leaves Republicans looking for a credible challenger.
As for that credible challenger, Kieran Michael Lalor ain't it. Will Assemblyman (and wingnut extraordinaire) Greg Ball jump in?
I hope so. |
